Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I've hardly been outside my room in days 'Cause I don't feel that I deserve the sunshine rays The Darkness helped until the whiskey wore away And it was then I realized the conscience that never fades When you're young you have this image of your life That you'd be scrupulous and one day even make a wife And you make boundaries you'd never dream to cross And if you happen to you wake completely lost But I will fight for you Be sure that I will fight Until we're the special two Once Again [Chorus] And we will only need each other We'll bleed together Our hands will not be taught to hold another's 'Cause we're the special two And we can only see each other We'll breathe together These arms will not be taught to need another's 'Cause we're the special two I remember someone old once said to me That lies will lock you up with truth the only key But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell And couldn't see this place could soon become my hell So is it better to tell and hurt Or lie to save their face Well I guess the answer is Don't do it in the first place I know I'm not deserving of your trust from you right now But if by chance you change your mind You know I will not let you down 'cause we were the special two and we'll be again [Chorus] I step outside my minds eyes for a minute And I look over me like a doctor looking for disease or someone that could ease the pain But nothing cures the hurt you, you bring on by yourself Just remembering, just remembering how we were [Chorus]
